WEATHER FORECAST

Today: Scattered showers. High around 70. Did anyone else see the squirrel running around Parrish yesterday?

Tonight: Showers. Low in the mid 50s. It kept darting backwards and forwards, frantically looking for a wayout…

Tomorrow: Scattered showers. High in the mid 60s. The analogy is so painfully obvious that I can’t bring myself toactually say it.
